This is where you begin the notice the differences between the two 18v Makita impact drivers. The Makita DTD171 has 4 pre-set speed settings, and they are: Max: Makita DTD154RTJ 18V 2x5Ah Li-ion Brushless Impact Driver Kit Makita 18V Li-ion Cordless Burshless Impact Driver With 2 x 5.0Ah Li-ion Batteries in a Makpac Type 2 Connector Case - DTD154 This is a new Makita impact driver and is the first of the entry models to come with a brushless motor. Most people believe that it is worth spending that bit extra to get brushless and I have to agree, it's well worth it. The DTD has a 1 mode which is the following: Tek Mode – This mode gives you full power at the beginning of driving the screw in, once the screw is almost all the way in, the impact driver reduces power to ensure the screw is flush, and to avoid over tingeing of the screw, and screw cam-out. Is it Worth Upgrading From The DTD154 to DTD171? The Z after the model number indicates that it is the body only without battery, as the battery size can change the hight of the impact driver. The DTD153 is the more compact impact driver and will be more comfortable to handle. Compatible With Makita’s LXT BatteriesHeavy duty, with an ULTRA-COMPACT design at just 117mm long and the Brushless DC Motor make the DTD154 impact driver one of Makita's best tools to date. It has an electronic 3 stage impact power selector + TEK mode selection which prevents over tightening of fasteners. It's high rotational speed of 3,600rpm and max torque of 175Nm makes it one of the top performers in its class. Having a brushless motor is extremely important for heavy duty use as it better at delivering all the power and lasts longer than non-brushless motors. Brushless motors are recommended for tradesmen who will use impact drivers quite often on a daily basis. You don't get all the bells and whistles of the best rated DTD171Z model but this is an excellent unit and I think it's a bargain price and the best all round value, for what you get. Absolutely perfect as your first impact driver
